Die Mauer – asisi Panorama Berlin

Artist Yadegar Asisi is famous for creating bafflingly detailed monumental photographic panoramas. Right next to Checkpoint Charlie, "Die Mauer" transports visitors to the divided city on a cloudy day in the 1980s. Standing on a platform, you get to peek from the western side of the Wall across the "death strip" into East Berlin and contemplate what life was like in the shadow of barbed wire and guard towers. Sound and light intensify the mood of bleakness and oppression.

Some 200 photographs of real people complement this fictitious scene.
